What is the Greater Kromme Stewardship Initiative?
Nestled near St. Francis Bay in the breathtaking Eastern Cape, the Greater Kromme Stewardship Initiative is a passionate conservation effort committed to protecting the region’s diverse ecosystems, wildlife, and communities. The Kromme River, a vital lifeline, flows through this extraordinary area, supporting species and habitats that are found nowhere else on Earth.
This collaborative project unites wind farms, conservationists, farmers, and government bodies, all working towards one goal: to safeguard the environment. Through the innovative Biodiversity Stewardship framework, we empower landowners to protect their properties, creating official nature reserves that preserve vital ecosystems for generations to come.
